The tale of the cauldron /

Dundee : Malcolm C. Macleod,
1927.
This is one of a series of 'Ancient legends of the Scottish Gael,' originally designed to help Scottish schoolchildren learn the Gaelic language. It is a folktale from the Scottish Highlands, involving a canny wife, her inept husband, and of course, the Wee Folk who live under the hill and are responsible for all sorts of mischief. Of particular interest are the wonderful full-color paintings by Gordon Browne, a well-known Scottish artist of the day, which accompany and augment the tale. Each line of the story is given in English, with the Gaelic underneath. The Questions and Answers at the end are in both languages as well.
